Spending a day with these 6-8 graders and their teachers was like getting inoculated with hope. Fr. Sauer Academy is a new middle school that recently opened on the SI campus, that's offering a world class education to low-income students, tuition free. We spent the entire day with them and were blown away by the rigor of the classes, but also the heart. Class time was dedicated for talking through their real life personal problems with their peers and teachers and figure out solutions. Incredible doesn't begin to describe it.

It's not just that we love working with organizations to communicate their brand - we inevitably fall in love with them in the process. This is the emotion that our pictures show, and that statistics always seem to fail at. These photos are real lived moments. These captured memories go to the heart of telling an organization's core values.
